Tracking your cycle and possible BFP using RHR - part 2

[Juno231]

Hi ladies,

This is for all of us with heart rate monitors who wish to help each other analyse the RHR patterns throughout our cycles.

Early research shows there's a correlation with increasing RHR and BFPs - so let's try and spot some together!

See attached my current chart - at 10DPO my RHR is at it's all time high this cycle and has not started to decline for AF yet. Fingers crossed!

Will hold out to mon or Tues at least. See if I've any spotting or cramps by then as I normally would b4 it

Tested tonight with a clear blue weeks and its a bfn. I know i should have waited til the morning, might try again if af doesn't show.

Whats peoples experiences with these?

@ambs1994 dont think they are ad good as frer. When is af due again

@2alreadywantanother was due 2 days ago

@ambs1994 until af shows ur still in the running x

Cycle buddy @mumof23188 Im good! Your chart is such a huge rise! Mine hasnt risen much, I've had a couple of glasses of wine tonight and cocktails tomorrow so probably can't rely on my chart much?

Well my bbt and RHR up today again. Either 10 or 13dpo

@SarahTTC2020 ah good ☺️. Yes first time it’s risen like that. It’s dropped down one today though which probably means I’m out! Yes think alcohol can affect your RHR. Enjoy your cocktails 🍹 sounds lovely. Perfect weather aswell ☺️

@2alreadywantanother exciting!!! 😁

@mumof23188 That's really good about your big rise! Fingers crossed for you! 🤞🏼Awww I bet! Although I pretty much stayed inside with the fan too!!! 🥵

My RHR seems to have risen by 2 bpm today on 3DPO, so hoping it starts to rise properly now.

@Fran2020 thank you but it’s dropped 1bpm today so not looking good now! It’s super hot isn’t it! Hope you have a nice day ☺️ Ahh brilliant that it’s risen for you. Hope it keeps going up 🤞

My rhr has now dropped 2 from 76 to 74 so wondering if that's me out now

Anyone want to double check this? I think its definitely negative

@ambs1994 sorry cant see anything here I'm afraid

@mumof23188 mine dropped 1 this evening. On 69 all day and now 68.
See what happens it in the morning

@ambs1994 sorry I can’t see anything either. Where are you at in your cycle?

@2alreadywantanother what’s it doing today? Hopefully it’s gone up 🤞

6DPO today and mine has gone back to 65bpm after dropping to 64 yesterday!

@mumof23188 I'm now day 36 of this cycle

@ambs1994 sorry 😩 what is your RHR up to? Did you have a chemical last cycle?

@mumof23188 yep to chemical last cycle, and rhr dropped again to 72

I’m 6dpo today and we’re away for a week in the caravan with the family so there’s been a little alcohol, interrupted sleep and a lot of stress so rhr is on the rise and I’ve no clue if it means anything!!! Xx

@mumof23188 stayed the same today, on 68. Watch it and nearly obsessed over it 🙈 my temp had a tiny tiny drop but I'd windows open and kicked off bed covers when I had woke and felt slightly cold so hoping that's why.

The last time my RHR was 68 or over was after ov. Before that was over a month ago. Fingers crossed that's a positive thing.

Now on CD40! Latest RHR and my BFN from this morning... ☹️

@hansbanans the perfect cat on ur chart. That's weird. When do u think u ovulated. At bottom b4 spike? I would be ruling u out just yet. How long is ur cycle normally

@2alreadywantanother I know it's bizarre! I think I ov'd where the 58 is marked, so that would make me about 12dpo. I'm normally about 33 days but since my early MC in January (6/7 weeks) I've had 35, 47 and 33 day cycles. It's so frustrating! x

@hansbanans sorry to hear that. Give it another day or so and test again. Fingers crossed for u x

@2alreadywantanother thank you x
